A Hollywood man is accused of hitting his girlfriend and using a sledgehammer to smash the contents of their shared residence.

Troy Maurice Williams, 22, of the 2900 block of North 74th Avenue, was charged with aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony and felony battery resulting in great bodily harm, both domestic violence offenses, and obstructing justice-hindering communication with law enforcement.

The victim told a Hollywood police detective Sunday that Williams struck her right eye with a closed fist. When she tried to call for help, he slammed her cellphone to the floor and got a sledgehammer, the report states.
